hey guys I have a 60 litretankhoming
7 neons
3 mollies
1 guppy
1 danio and a tom of molly babys
my neons and guppy have White at the end of their fins, the mollies always gasp for air and the danio bullys the neons! Help!!
 
What are your test readings? How often do you change water? How old is the tank?

You are stocked to the gills. The danio would like to be in a group which is probably why he is annoying the mollies. The molllies need a bigger tank.

The white at the end of the fins suggest less than idea water conditions, the molly gasping means lack of O2 or ammonia or nitrite poisoning, which goes back to less than pristine water conditions.

I am not very knowledgeable on stocking but as the last poster said, we really need your water readings to help.
